XANADU OPERA TIME | ALL INVITED

[shall_yield_us]

WHEN: Jan. 15 | the Xanadu gardens.
CHARACTERS: Everyone.
SUMMARY: we interrupt your regular Xanadu viewing for the following special reminder: ...the visit ain't over til the bloody plant sings.

That's right: our green belle been giving rather obnoxious titillating performances in Xanadu, to what can only be the... enjoyment... of certain Citizens. Adding injury to insult, it's quite possible that a couple of residents have also captured the plant's tune on film, and now the video's been turned into a network viral phenomenon!

But as Citizens surely know, every grand artist needs a doting live audience: come get dibs on more plant footage? Save someone from its evil clutches? Help a poor soul that's got lost in the gardens' great expanse? Get the plant to sign with your talent agency? Embark on a mystical quest to get it to shut up?

Just put your chlorophyll-tinted glasses on, and anything is possible.


[ ooc: Find whatever excuse to throw your character in Xanadu, tag someone new, and all around: GET IN HERE. Just as a note: hearing the plant is definitely optional, so please don't think it's an overwhelming sound that'd keep your character up at night or some such. It's just a log prompt. XD ]

Comments

[ Ariadne has no idea what a Marlboro is, except for a kind of cigarette. That's probably a good thing.

His comment has her smiling, though, automatically pleased that someone recognizes her profession for what it is. ]

It really is. Unfortunately there's not much cause to build cathedrals anymore, at least not back home.

[nohometown]

[That is a good thing. Malboros are hideous poisonous flying plant monsters.]

Cathedrals. Yes, we no longer build religious structures in my world. There are some still standing, but they're ruins, for the most part.

Utilitarian structures are our most common new constructions, though they're not without their interesting features.

[boutant]

It's not the religious part I'm attracted to. It's the building itself, the design.

I'm more of a classical girl. Modern things are nice, sleek, but they're everywhere. Straight lines, not a lot of curves.

[nohometown]

I see. I prefer modern designs and minimalism, myself, but if you're more interested in other styles, I can see how that could be limiting.

[boutant]

It depends on the design, on what the client or an instructor wants versus what I would like to include.

[nohometown]

I can relate, somewhat. My own work depends on the orders I receive as well as my own judgment and my decisions in the midst of battle. A very different practice, but the same principle.

As a student, have you had the opportunity to work for any clients thus far? [He knows that some students are able to practice their craft more than others.]

[boutant]

[ Yes, and it was the best thing that had ever happened to her. ]

We do work placements.
